Hobo was brought to us by the Forestry Department who caught him stealing food in someone’s house. Clearly he had been a pet that was no longer controllable and so was dumped. In desperation for food he made his way into the local village where he had become a problem.
The Primate Trust was founded by Jo and John Hicks (the same founders of IAR) it provides long term care to orphaned, abused and injured primates. This work is essential due to the loss of natural habitat, human conflict causing an increasing number of injured and orphaned monkeys. Other monkeys are rescued for being illegally kept as pets and for begging, often in appalling conditions.
